Chapter 118


    Chapter 118 Unexpected Confession


    The next afternoon at 1 pm, Erin and Roman arrived at Fleuverton Airport. They walked out of the


    airport pushing their luggage and got into a ck van. Since Roman didn’t announce his visit to


    Fleuverton City, they kept a low profile throughout the journey.


    Roman had been wearing arge mask, sunsses, and a hat since they departed from the city. Even


    Erin chose to dress simrly. Ever since the scandal with Matthew, Erin carried these simple disguises


    with her whenever she would be in crowded public ces.


    In the early hours ofst night, Matthew once again rified on Twitter that he and Erin were only


    friends. This flimsy exnation wasn’t convincing to mostizens. Even so, there were still many


    diehard fans who, after feeling sad for a few days, chose to support their idol. These fans even


    managed to track Erin’s Twitter ount.


    Although Erin only posted on Twitter once every month or two, the scandal with Matthew caused her


    Twitter followers to suddenly surge to over six hundred thousand. Those fans who wished for their idol


    Matthew to find happiness left encouragingments under Erin’s Twitter posts, urging her to treat


    Matthew well. They were of the opinion that Erin’s good looks made her worthy of a perfect hunk like


    Matthew.


    Nevertheless, there were also manyns and inte trolls who left all sorts of offensivements on


    Erin’s Twitter.


    Erin was speechless at their rudeness and simply posted a tweet in the morning after she woke


    up-“Matthew is my friend, and I appreciate him for taking care of me that night during my heartbreak.”


    She didn’t provide any further exnation. She believed that the truth would speak for itself. Besides,


    there were too many online haters lo handle. She’d already exined what was necessary. As to how


    many believed her, that was not up to her to control.


    In any case, if there were any irrational fans who ndered, spread rumors, or harmed her, she could


    report them to the police or send


    them awyer’s letter.


    Two hourster, Erin and Roman arrived safely at a five–star hotel near to DragonSky Studios in


    Fleuverton City. Seventy percent of the


    hotel’s guests consisted of film and television personnel. The hotel was located diagonally across


    DragonSky Studios. Roman’s hotel


    room was next to Erin’s, and even Roman’s driver, Ken, stayed nearby.


    Roman went out with Ken to the studio to discuss matters with the director.


    At the moment, Erin was unpacking her luggage in the hotel room and hanging up her clothes in the


    wardrobe. She would be staying in


    this room for three weeks. Right after she was done unpacking. Erin called Holly and her mother,


    Cherry, to reassure them of her safety. Holly even mentioned that she would visit Fleuverton City when


    she had the time.


    Just as Erin was about to take a shower, someone knocked on the door. She assumed it might be


    Romaning back for something.


    When she opened the door, she saw a young woman wearing a blue dress and sses with a ck


    frame standing there. She had a smile


    on her face as she said, “Hello, are you Roman’s assistant?”


    Erin replied, “Yes, I am.”


    “I’m Liliana, the assistant of the famous actress Megan Zeigler. You can call me Lili. Miss Zeigler and


    Mr. ir are good friends. She asked me to pass a bottle of red wine to you so that you can pass it to


    Mr. ir.” Liliana held a bottle of red wine that had a fancy red ribbon tied to it in her hand.


    Megan had just won an academy awardst year and was a rising r. She was incredibly beautiful


    and considered one of the few natural beauties in the entertainment industry. Erin was amazed that she


    was Roman’s friend.


    “Sure. I’ll pass it on to Mr. ir.” Erin received the wine respectfully.


    Liliana reminded her specifically, “Please be careful. This bottle of wine is worth three hundred


    thousand dors. If you break it, I’m afraid you won’t be able to bear the responsibility.”


    When Liliana said thest sentence, she was clearly looking down on Erin, but she didn’t think much of


    it. Three hundred thousand dors was indeed a significant amount. As someone with a debt of eighty


    million dors, even if she had to pay ten thousand dors in the event of breaking the wine, it would


    pain her greatly.


    She carefully held the bottle in her hands and nodded. “Don’t worry. I’ll be very careful.”


    Liliana nodded and left.


    To be on the safe side, Erin didn’t even close the door to her room. Instead, she walked into the


    bedroom with the wine and ced it on the desk before returning to close it. Just as she was about to


    close the door, Iwo men walked past outside.


    Just when Erin was startled and wanted to take a better look at the man who just passed by, one of


    them turned back and made his way to


    her door.


    “Oh my God! It’s really you, Miss Erin. Why are you here?” Matthew, who was dressed in trendy


    clothes, took off his orange sunsses and hugged Erin excitedly. His manager deliberately cleared his


    throal noisily behind him. To think that she would run into Matthew here, Erin was bewildered.


    “Ceylon, you go ahead. I need to talk to Miss Erin.” With that, Matthew handed his suitcase to his


    manager.


    Erin felt a bit awkward and didn’t know what to say. She was subsequently pushed into the room by


    Matthew, who closed the door after he got in. Matthew’s manager stood outside the room, looking


    conflicted as he silently deliberated, “Isn’t Matthew aware there’s scandalous news about them all over


    the Inte? Does he want it to blow up further?”


    Inside the room, Erin asked. “I was about to ask you the same thing. Why have youe to Fleuverton


    City?”

    Matthew sat down on the sofa and replied, “I came to DragonSky Studios to film a show. The director is


    my friend. I’m just making a cameo appearance for my friend’s production.”


    “I see.”


    Matthew’s gazended on the suitcase not far away. “What about you? You said you found a new job.


    Are you on a business trip now?”


    Erin nodded and answered. “Yes, I guess you can call it a business trip. My new job is being an


    assistant trainee to Roman.”


    Upon hearing that, Matthew stood up in surprise. “Roman?”


    “Yeah.”


    His brows furrowed with a hint of uncertainty. “Are you talking about the famous actor, Roman ir?”


    She smiled faintly. “Yes, it’s him.”


    Her affirmation caused Matthew’s expression to sour. Heined. “Miss Erin, this is so unfair of


    you! When I asked you to be my assistant, you refused me tly. But now, you’ve suddenly be


    Roman’s assistant. Aren’t you discriminating against me?”


    “Are you kidding? How would I discriminate against you? It’s just that taking your fans‘ feelings into


    consideration, I thought it would be better for me to keep my distance from you,” she exined.


    Matthew sighed and said, “Are you still upset about the photos? I’m sorry, it was my fault. My manager


    is already trying to handle it…”


    Seeing him me himself, Erin consoled, “No, I don’t me you. It’s normal for paparazzi to take


    photos of celebrities, after all. Still, I don’t want that kind of news to spread around again. It really


    affects my life and my mood. I hope you can understand.”


    Matthew walked up to her with his amber eyes focused on her. With a charming smile, he said. “Maybe


    what I’m about to say will make you unhappy, but did you know? I’m truly grateful that someone took


    those photos because the woman in those pictures is you, and not


    anyone else.”


    The twinkle in his eyes was captivating and made one’s heart skip a beat. Erin felt her cheeks heat up.


    She didn’t know the meaning behind Matthew’s words, nor did she know how to respond to them.


    Matthew became even bolder and held her hand when she was at a loss, unsure of what to do. His


    gaze was exceptionally gentle. “Miss


    Erin, even though we’re five years apart. To me, you’re not an older sister figure but just a girl. So, from


    now on, I’ll just call you Erin.”


    Erin was momentarily stunned. She didn’t expect their encounter to suddenly progress into something


    romantic like this.


    She quickly adjusted her emotions, pulled back her hand, and yfully punched his firm muscles. She


    laughed and said, “Matthew, stop joking around. I’m five years older than you. You shouldn’t be so


    impudent and forego formalities!”


    Erin’s refusal and feigned ignorance made Matthew feel embarrassed. He awkwardly chuckled and


    said, “I didn’t expect you to reject me by using ame excuse like our age difference …


    Before she could speak up, Matthew walked away with long strides. In the end, Erin just let him go


    without saying anything further. Shel thought Matthew might have just been carried away at the


    moment and woulde to his senses in a few days.


    After Matthew left, Erin could finally go for a long overdue shower. Unfortunately, she was interrupted


    by a phone call. As soon as she saw


    ???


    it was from Sean, she immediately answered it. “Erin, I’ve got some news about your cousin.”
